Sorry about this post being upsetting but I feel so discouraged. I've had a perfectly healthy, non-complicated pregnancy and passed every test with flying colors. I've been determined to do labor and delivery without an epidural and I was telling everyone that and my family is pretty much like "if that's what you want, go for it" and my in-laws are telling me that I will NEED it because the pain is so bad. :/ Which just pretty much scared me so much worse considering I'm a FTM. 😢

btw it's also better if you have your S.O be there & support you. it helps a lot :)
There's no shame in that either! Lol do whatever feels best for you. It's your body your baby and your labor!
honestly there's nothing to be scared of. I'm a ftm and through my whole pregnancy I kept saying I was not going to get an epidural and I stuck to that. a lot of people told me its good that I choose not to take it and there were others who told me I need to get it because I won't be able to handle the pain. When it finally came down to labor I took every inch pain and at the end I was like wow I did it 😱 I still can't believe I went through it lmao.
@boogersbugsanddirt, @mrsschutte1323 I'm definitely not shaming the epidural at all, I just wanted to experience the full thing without it to see what it's like and something I can say that I did by myself and I would feel so accomplished if that makes any sense. :) Not that an epidural is bad or anything, I just want to do the whole thing without it. :)
I needed the epidural but that's only because I've never been good with pain and my was was measuring 6 weeks ahead and I went 5 days past my due date so I had a Huge baby boy at 10lbs 9.8oz 22.5inches long and his head circumference was 15.5
Idk what to do now. I told my hubby beforehand that to KEEP telling me positive things, rub my back, cuddle me, and when I'm doubting myself to tell me I don't need an epidural that I could do it, no matter what happens.
Don't be scared. Make the decision when you're in labor, that's what I did. I had one epidural and one natural.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
I feel the same way
